TotalBeauty.com members say you can't live without these makeup and hairstyle wonders from MAC, Clinique and more

MAC Eye Shadow, $14TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9*Why it's life-changing: "I did not discover MAC until I was in my 30s. I had heard good things, but could not justify the price without the experience. ... I was so wrong. MAC eyeshadow colors hold up all day long [and] blend well, which allowed me to understand the artistry of makeup that I had no concept of before. Every pot is well worth the money. Although this site describes the pans as 'tiny,' they last a LONG time. In most cases, far longer than cheaper brands. I need to apply so much less to achieve the color payoff I want in my makeup. Well worth the price." -- Purrmeow, TotalBeauty.com member
